Alabama football's defensive coordinator Kane Wommack was as happy as anyone to have regained the services of veteran difference maker upfront, LT Overton ahead of the Crimson Tide's date with Indiana at the Rose Bowl.
This boost comes after the defensive lineman missed both Alabama's SEC Championship game loss to Georgia and the Crimson Tide's opening round playoff win over Oklahoma, recovering from an illness. Before that, the 6-foot-5, 278-pounder had been playing the best football of his career, leading all Alabama defensive linemen with 4 sacks, alongside 4 quarterback hurries, and 35 tackles across 12 games.
